    What to Eat at ACL

    20 things you must eat and drink at ACL Music Festival in Austin

    Tom Thornton

    Fans have long been spoiled by the Austin City Limits Music Fest food court known as Austin Eats. Although many sporting events and festivals don't offer much besides burgers and hot dogs, Austin's biggest music festival has showcased a broad range of local restaurants and products for years.

    So if you are headed to Austin for ACL this weekend or next, we offer these 20 picks for festival refueling.

    Beer, hoppy

    Lagunitas, Odell and Stone IPAs
    Though we'd recommend not overdoing these (the ABV is on the higher side), ACL Fest has three of the nation's top IPAs on draft in the Barton Springs Beer Hall. The Stone is the hoppiest and most bitter, while the Lagunitas and Odell beers lean more toward the tropical fruit side of the IPA spectrum. All are first-rate and should quench the thirst of many hop-heads all weekend.

    Beer, malty

    Odell 90 Shilling
    New to the Texas market this year, this amber riff on a Scottish ale is an ideal fit for the fest. The alcohol level is moderate (5.3 percent), it's balanced but not bitter, and should make for a nice evening sipper.

    Brisket

    Brisket tacos, Peached Tortilla (2 for $9)
    The famous food truck takes a break from building its brick-and-mortar to serve up tacos filled with dry-rubbed and braised brisket and creamy apple slaw. About as safe a bet as you'll find in the park.

    Coffee

    Double espresso can,High Brew Coffee ($4)
    Though they could do with a touch less sugar, the canned coffees from Austin's High Brew will be like manna from heaven late in the day at ACL. These 8-ounce cold brew coffees are portable, tasty, cold and a great way to recharge before the evening sets. A great new addition.

    Falafel

    Falafel wrap, Tino's Greek Cafe ($7)
    Tino's fast casual fare is a longtime Austin favorite, and its falafel wrap adds another light lunch option to the court, which is great on hotter days. For those who'd like a heartier wrap, gyro meat is also available.

    Fried chicken

    Fried chicken sliders, Max's Wine Dive ($9)
    Max's has built its reputation on fried chicken for years, so there's no reason to doubt it now. Austin chef Erica Beneke's team will plate up sliders with chicken, pickles, lettuce, tomato and honey, giving you a perfect picnic bite (albeit one on the indulgent side) for a ramble through the park.

    Frito pie

    Frito pies, Jason Dady ($7-$9)
    Dady gets points for both audacity and a sense of humor here: He's doing four different variations of Frito pie. There are two meat options (Texas BBQ chopped beef and bacon with pork belly), a JBG vegetarian option, and a dessert Nutella pie with marshmallow and graham crackers. We're stopping by for the spectacle — and the bacon. (Weekend one, Saturday only.)

    Fruit

    Chile-spiked watermelon, Tim Love's Woodshed Smokehouse ($4)
    Before his much-hyped expansion into Austin, celebrity chef Tim Love is running two stands in the food court with offerings ranging from tamales to beef ribs. His simplest idea might be his best, though. The Woodshed will plate up chile-spiked watermelon, which should pair well with a beer and be a welcome lighter offering.

    Ice cream

    Scoops and sandwiches, Coolhaus ($4-$6)
    Coolhaus cookie ice cream sandwiches are always a winner. Though they are only available on the second weekend this year, the eclectic and often boozy flavors are indulgent, fun and well-executed. Go for it. (Weekend two only.)

    Kid-friendly eats

    Hamburger or veggie burger with cookie, P. Terry's ($6-$7)
    This is an easy victory for parents: Kids love P. Terry's burgers, plus they're already familiar with them. Grab an early dinner before the lines lengthen and save yourself some stress.

    Kolaches

    Goat sausage kolache, Odd Duck/Jack Allen's Kitchen ($8)
    The Texas favorite makes a cameo appearance for one day only at the festival, so grab it while you can. The Gilmores are collectively great at cooking goat dishes, so this savory take on the kolache should be rich, Texan and very filling. (Weekend one, Friday only.)

    Pizza

    Assorted slices, Southside Flying Pizza ($7-8)
    With Austin's Pizza going the "personal pizza" route, your hands-down best play for pizza is Southside. The 78704 favorite is also offering four different slice options to cater to everyone. Offerings include cheese, pepperoni, veggie and the trio Italiano, all of which are done Neapolitan-style.

    Popsicles

    Watermelon agave, Goodpop ($4)
    Goodpops are refreshing, made locally and even employ local fruit when possible. They're not too sweet and a great guilt-free refreshment on a warmer day. We like the hibiscus mint pop as well.

    Ribs

    Pork rib boat, Salt Lick ($10)
    Barbecue is a fickle thing, and buying it at a festival is risky in a town filled with world-class 'cue. The best bet this year seems to be the Salt Lick's pork rib boat. In our opinion, ribs will hold up in festival conditions better than brisket, and the ability to eat sans fork is always a plus. It's also our favorite menu item from the legendary Driftwood restaurant, so you should walk away happy.

    Sausage

    Grilled bratwurst sandwich, Frank ($7)
    You can trust the brats from Frank; they're made in Austin by Hudson Sausage company, so the quality level is solid. If you're feeling more Oktoberfest than ACL Fest, this stand has your back. Load up on the kraut and mustard for the ideal experience.

    Shrimp

    Scallywag, Torchy's Tacos ($6)
    The Scallywag is right up there with Torchy's most gluttonous offerings, which is really saying something. Those wanting a gut-busting dinner to complement their brews can opt in for this coconut shrimp, bacon, green chile, cheese and pickled onion monster. Why not?

    Tamales

    Spinach and onion tamales, Tamale Addiction (2 for $9)
    Tamale Addiction is a regular fixture at Circuit of the Americas, and our experience has been that the spinach and caramelized onion tamales are the vendor's best dish. For those looking for a meatier option, Tim Love is serving up smoked chicken tamales at his Woodshed stand.

    Vegetarian, part I

    Korean fried tofu tacos, Chi'lantro ($9)
    Chi'lantro's take on tofu makes great use of the trailer's Asian flavors. The sweet and spicy tofu with onion, cilantro and a soy vinaigrette salad give layers of spice and crunch to the taco, which is served on corn tortillas.

    Vegetarian, part II

    Brussels sprout salad, East Side King ($8)
    ESK's salad may have the longest ingredient list of the festival. The "everything but the kitchen sink" dish meshes sautéed Brussels sprouts with cabbage, sprouts, lettuce, jalapeño, mint, basil, cilantro, salt, pepper and onion to elevated effect. The dish is light, tangy and complex, with each bite delivering heat, sweetness or roasted flavors depending on which ingredient combo you grab. The stand will also be serving Poor Qui Buns, but don't pass up this salad.

    Wraps

    Chicken and avocado cone, Mighty Cone ($9)
    To end the list, one can't bypass this ACL classic, because it's arguably the dish that made the ACL food court's reputation. Billed as "the only way to eat at Hudson's On The Bend for under $10," the crunchy chicken and avocado cone is still a great handheld meal. Although it may no longer be the surefire best meal in the park, you can thank your chicken cone for making the other options happen.

    Coolhaus for all your cooling-off needs.

    Post Malone to headline 2025 Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball

    Post Malone will play at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on May 9, 2025.

    Superstar singer/rapper Post Malone will headline the 2025 Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball at Southfork Ranch.

    "Cattle Baron's Ball is thrilled to announce Grammy-nominated global superstar Post Malone as the headlining entertainer for the 2025 Cattle Baron's Ball, the world's largest single-night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society," the organization announced in an email to subscribers on May 15.

    The 52nd Cattle Baron's Ball will take place October 25, 2025 under the leadership of co-chairs Courtney Derderian and Nina Sachse. They've chosen the theme "All Cylinders."

    Chandler Walters will be the VIP Stage Performer. He's best known as the writer of Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's hit song "I Had Some Help" and is currently on tour with Post Malone.

    Post Malone is no stranger to DFW; his family moved to Grapevine when he was 10 years old when his dad got a job as manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys.

    His most recent show in DFW was "Post Malone Presents: The BIG ASS Stadium Tour," which played to a rollicking crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday, May 9. The tour was in support of Post's debut country album, 2024's F-1 Trillion, his third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Album, and two songs from the album were also nominated for Grammys.

    Since 1974, Cattle Baron's Ball has raised over $105 million for cancer research. The 2025 ball is presented by Texas Oncology, with entertainment sponsored by White Rhino Coffee.

    The early-bird ticket deadline for the always sold-out ball has been extended to June 1, organizers say. Following that, all tickets, tables, and underwriting levels will increase by 10 percent. According to the website, ticket and table packages currently run $3,500 to $150,500.

    For more information, tables and tickets, visit the CBB website.
